For all those who are anti-LX3.crap, why would i want a hot-shoe for Lx3... i might as well lug my dSLR along...
Given the popularity of this camera, I would not be surprised if the high number of LX-3 owners selling their cameras could be just a small proportion of the entire LX-3 owner population here. So a high number of units available for sale does not mean that it is not a good enough camera.
There could be other reasons behind the sales too - for eg. economic hardships, upgrading to DSLR, etc.
I doubt anybody can rightfully decide which camera in the world is the best PnS camera unless he has applied consistent benchmark tests across every PnS camera in the market. Then again, image results are still subject to personal preference, taste, etc. Comparison is still subjective. As long as the owner loves the camera, who are we to say it is not good enough? I would say to each his own.
If you are considering to purchase a LX-3 and it is within your budget, dont just depend on other people's opinion, go try it out for yourself. Let yourself decide since the camera will be paid by your own pocket not from the others who give opinion.
By the way, I dont own a LX-3 myself.
It has come to my observation, that many people are letting go their LX-3 after owning it for a short duration. Most common reason is upgrading to DSLR, this also includes my colleague at work, whom in the end bought an IXUS 870is?? My colleague tells me, the LX3 is not so pocketable and the zoom is not enough. So owners and ex-owners of this cam, share your experinences here.I've personally tried it and its very good, typical of panasonics good built and design of late.
I second that . Seems LX3 has become a benchmark to other PnS cameras.erm..just curious as a LX3 owner....hw come alot ppl always use lx3 as a comparison to other cams? And seems there r some who cant wait to see the downfall of this cam...I wonder if its the cam tt offended them? :dunno:
